Every day, you can accumulate a buildup of toxins from things like artificial food ingredients, pharmaceutical drugs, heavy metals, waterborne pollution, and crazy things like nuclear fallout.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now, this may sound like science fiction, but your body is being constantly bombarded with this stuff. All the time. Prolonged exposure to toxins can create a serious overload of them in your system.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To achieve any level of longevity, you need to detox your body from these chemicals and eat the right foods to protect your cells from retoxing. Yes, retoxing is a real word &#8211; go ahead and check UrbanDictionary.com if you don&#8217;t believe. It&#8217;s usually used to describe what happens when someone who finishes a weeklong raw juice cleanse to start the New Year, immediately falls off the wagon with a deep-dish pizza and craft beer. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">That is the typical detox \/ retox cycle that, unfortunately, a LOT of people fall into. Before we get into a recommended dynamic detox protocol and an example of a cleansing regimen, behold the complex issue of chemical exposure in our everyday lives:<br \/>&#8211; More than 6 million pounds of mercury and 2.5 billion pounds of other toxic chemicals are released into the environment in the U.S. each year;<br \/>&#8211; 80,000 toxic chemicals have been released into our environment, and very few have been tested for their long-term impact on human health;<br \/>&#8211; In 2007, Americans spent more than $28 million on detoxification products.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Even if you eat well, exercise, and keep your immunity strong, you may still be susceptible to the chemicals in the food supply and the general environment.<br \/>So let&#8217;s take a look at some of the big sources of heavy metal toxicity and key practices for heavy metal detoxification.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>Common sources of heavy metal toxicity<\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">These are the primary sources in the modern world where most of our heavy metal toxicity comes from:<br \/>&#8211; Mercury amalgam dental fillings;<br \/>&#8211; Paints, coatings, industrial materials;<br \/>&#8211; Air pollution &amp; groundwater contamination;<br \/>&#8211; Military &amp; corporate waste products;<br \/>&#8211; Consumer products like cookware, utensils, electronics, building &amp; construction materials;<br \/>&#8211; Foods like ocean fish, crustaceans, mollusks (mercury, PCBs &amp; dioxins);<br \/>&#8211; Most common toxic heavy metals: mercury, aluminum, lead, arsenic &amp; cadmium.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>Primary Practices for Heavy Metal Detoxification<\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">These are top ways to help you detox from heavy metals and other environmental pollutants:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>Catabolic practices (these speed up &amp; accelerate detox)<br \/><\/strong>&#8211; Fasting, drinking green juices, chlorophyll, tons of spring water, traditional Chinese or Ayurvedic herbal remedies \/ formulas;<br \/>&#8211; Supplemental far infrared sauna therapy, colonics, dry skin brushing, deep tissue massage, aerobic exercise, vigorous sweating;<br \/>&#8211; Consuming MSM, ALA (alpha linoleic acid), zeolites, fulvic acid, Shilajit, enzymes, probiotics and natural chelators like chlorella &amp; fresh cilantro.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>Supplemental Practices to Help Slow Down your Detox Symptoms<\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">If you happen to be detoxing too quickly and having symptoms of fever, headaches, weakness, swollen limbs or face, faster pulse, nausea, vomiting, pain, skin rashes or eruptions &#8211; try these practices that slow the detox process. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n    <strong>Anabolic practices (these slow down your detox symptoms)<br \/><\/strong>&#8211; Anaerobic exercise like weight training, strength training, muscle building;<br \/>&#8211; Consuming fatty foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, olives, coconuts;<br \/>&#8211; Take activated charcoal tablets &amp; lemon water;<br \/>&#8211; Using Celtic sea salt, cooked starches like pasta, grains, rice, potatoes &#8211; use these foods if your detox symptoms are starting to overwhelm you.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Detoxing from heavy metals and environmental toxins doesn&#8217;t have to be a scary, intimidating or overwhelming process. Start slow, gradually incorporate a few practices on the list above and be very, very gentle with yourself throughout the process!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p>    <strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>February 22, 2019<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; Through a variety of natural ingredients, supplements, and healthy elimination modalities, you can remove harmful environmental toxins and heavy metals from your body&#8230; and have a fun time doing it (unless you detox too quickly).
